Well, here we are again, with another attempt at Diva's Challenge #156: Curvy Gridlock.
As I mentioned in my last post, I use curved grid based tangles often, but when challenged to do so, I couldn't get my head around it. So I tried again; and I'm a little happier with this one; still not my best, but better than before.
My tile for String Thing #29, on the other hand, I really like:
except I really can't decide which direction looks right.
So I leave it for you to decide.
I won't even tell you which way I drew it.
BTW, it's totally coincidental that this tile features a curvy grid. I didn't even realize it until I scanned it in preparation to post it here. Just proves my point that when I'm not thinking about it, it just happens.
In the meantime, be sure to visit the Diva's site to see the other wonderful entries; it's amazing how different all the responses are. Maybe you'll be inspired to try out one of the Challenges yourself.
And then check out all the entries @ Tickled to Tangle, on Monday, when Adele Bruno posts them. The vast differences that can be achieved using the same tangles on the same string are truly incredible. And, if you've a mind to try a String Thing yourself, check back on Tuesday, when she offers the new ones.
Thanks for visiting; please leave a comment, favorable or not. I'd love to hear your thoughts. That's how we learn and grow; and how we know someone out there is paying attention.
Have a wonderful day, week, month; see you all next time.

Great job, I really enjoy the varied the look of the same tile when you turn it. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Daniele. I'm glad that you like my tile.
DeleteI know exactly what you mean, Audrie - curvy grids are what I enjoy but when challenged, it suddenly became too 'conscious' - but I think you've done a great job. Several great jobs, in fact. The String Thing was great fun and I love your version here. I like the way the bottom one looks best, I think - wonder which way you did it?

Thank you, Annie. Since you asked, the first String Thing tile is the one I actually did. But I agree with you; I really like the second one best. I may email Adele and ask her to switch images.
DeleteHm, to be honest I like the first view better, but no matter which way, i's a lovely tile. I also like the curved grid tile, I like the contrast there.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Annemarie. I'm glad you like it, no matter which view you prefer. And I'm glad you like the curved grid tile too.
